Answer A

 
 
 
 
   
10.  If f(x) < 0 for all x, then the y values are all negative for all x.

If f '(x) < 0 for all x, then f is decreasing for all x.

If f " (x) < 0 for all x, then f is concave down for all x.

Graph B has all these qualities.

Answer E

 
 
 
 
   
15. 

yields the following sign study for f '.

where a = 0 and b=.negative

From the sign study we can see that f ' is negative in the interval and this is where f is decreasing.

Answer D

 
 
 
 
   
16. 

 

The derivative at x = 1 is equal to the slope of the tangent line at x = 1.  The line passes through (1, 7) and (-2, -2)   so the slope is

 

The tangent line has a slope of 3 so this is the slope of the function f at -1.

Answer A

 
 
 
 
   
18.  g ' has exactly 2 zeros at x = -2 and x = 2. 

g is increasing (-∞, -2) and (2,∞)  because g ' is positive in these intervals.  g is decreasing on (-2,2) because g ' is negative on this interval.

Answer A

 
 
 
 
   
19.  f ' (x)=2x+3 and f(1)=2

Answer D

 
 
 
 
   
20. 

I.  so this is true.

II.  In addition to I we also know that f(3)=5 so f is continuous and this statement is true.

III.  so f is not differentiable at 3. 

 

So I and II are true.

ANSWER D

 
 
 
 
   
21. 

based on the sign study of f " the second derivative of f changes sign at x = o and a.

Answer A

 
 
 
 
   
   
22.  The graph f ' is a graph of a linear function.  So f is a quadratic function. 

y '=-6x+6 from the information in the graph.  So

Answer D

 If f(0)=5 we also know that f '(0) = 6 from the graph.  So the equation of y =

26. 

Answer B

 
   
27. 

Answer B

 
   
   
28.  g'(x)>0 for all x means g is always increasing

g"(x)>0 for all x means g is always concave up

The green line shows a linear function that is increasing and the blue curve show a function that is increasing that is concave up. 

The equation of the linear function between (4,12) and (5,18) is y=6(x-4)+12.

y(6)=24 which is the value along the linear function.  We know that the value of g(6) must be greater than the value of y(6). 

Answer E.
